Out for season Bray (undisclosed) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season, Mike Casazza of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Bray was carted off the field during West Virginia's Week 2 loss to Ohio, and he's not expected to return this season. It's unclear what type of injury the senior wideout is dealing with. With Bray out, look for Rodney Gallagher, Preston Fox and Justin Smith-Brown to see more targets. Bray will finish the season with seven catches on nine targets for 95 yards.

Carted off Saturday Bray (undisclosed) was carted off the field and to the locker room during Saturday's game against Ohio, Ryan Decker of WBOY 12 News Clarksburg reports.

Impact The fact that Bray had to be carted off the field and straight into the locker room isn't an encouraging sign, and it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't return to action. If that's the case, expect Rodney Gallagher, Preston Fox and Justin Smith-Brown to see an uptick in their workload. Prior to departing the contest, Bray had recorded four catches for 69 yards, leading the team in both categories.

Participating in spring practice Bray (lower leg) participated in West Virginia's spring practice session, per the team's official X account.

Impact Bray missed the second half of the 2024 season with a lower leg injury but appears to be ready to go heading into 2025. The 6-foot-2 receiver appeared in five games for the Mountaineers prior to his injury last year, catching two passes for 88 scoreless yards.

MARCH 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Done for season Bray (lower leg) will miss the rest of the 2024 season, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

Impact Bray is set to miss the rest of the season as he continues to battle through a lower leg injury. He has missed each of the last five games, so this news does not come as a major surprise.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for UCF game Bray (lower leg) is doubtful for West Virginia's game Saturday against Central Florida, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

Impact Bray suffered an injury setback, hence why he went from "really close" to a return to being far from one, at least for Saturday's game. Ideally, his injury status is updated again once more before game time.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

'Really close' to return Bray (lower leg) is "really close" to returning according to head coach Neal Brown, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

Impact Bray had already been ruled out for West Virginia's tilt with Baylor, but it appears as if the receiver could feasibly make his return next week. His lower leg injury has kept him out of four straight games, and he has just two catches for 88 yards this season. Still, he should factor in as a deep threat for the Mountaineers whenever he does return.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Baylor Bray (lower leg) will remain out against Baylor in Week 12, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

Impact Bray will now miss his fifth straight game. The receiver has two grabs for 88 yards this season as a seldom-used big-play threat. His next chance to suit up will come on Nov. 23 versus Central Florida.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Arizona game Bray (lower leg) is out for West Virginia's game Saturday at Arizona, Keenan Cummings of Rivals reports.

Impact Bray will have sat out multiple games due to his lower-leg injury. With the benefit of an upcoming bye week, perhaps he could be available when West Virginia's team plays at Cincinnati on Nov. 9.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Wildcats Bray (lower leg) won't play this week against Kansas State, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

Impact Bray didn't play last week against Iowa State, and hasn't logged a catch since Week 3 vs. Pittsburgh. The Oklahoma State transfer has struggled to find a consistent role in this Mountaineers' offense, and he'll have to wait at least one more week before he makes his return to the field.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Active Saturday Bray (leg) was active for Saturday's win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Bray was dealing with a leg injury earlier in the week but is now healthy again. He played 24 snaps Saturday but failed to record any stats and will look to have a bigger role next week versus Iowa State.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted with brace on right leg Bray was seen in warmups with a large brace on his right leg, Blue Gold News reports.

Impact The wideout, who has two catches for 88 yards this season, has yet to miss a game. Bray has been a big-play threat for the Mountaineers, as his 88 yards consist of two separate 44-yard receptions. He's warming up on the field, but is clearly limited in some capacity with a leg brace.

OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Team-high 44 receiving yards Bray reeled in their only target for 44 yards during Saturday's 38-34 loss versus Pittsburgh.

Impact Bray has a single 44-yard catch in each of his last two games. QB Garrett Greene has struggled through the air which has resulted in minimal production by the West Virginia receivers. The Mountaineers will play Kansas next week.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Commits to West Virginia Bray announced his commitment to West Virginia on Monday.

Impact At the very least, Bray is expected to be a serviceable receiver for West Virginia. While enrolled at Oklahoma State across three seasons, he logged at least 250 receiving yards and multiple touchdowns twice. West Virginia should be no exception.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records touchdown Bray (undisclosed) reeled in their only target for 23 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 43-30 win versus Houston.

Impact Despite logging only one reception Saturday, Bray recorded a lot of yards and his second touchdown of 2023. This year has already been his best thus far, considering he has 27 receptions for 367 yards to go with his multiple TDs.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Saturday Bray (undisclosed) is considered probable for Saturday's game at Houston, Scott Wright of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Bray looks set to return to the field Saturday after missing the last three games with an undisclosed injury. In seven games this season he has 26 receptions (on 43 targets) for 344 yards and a touchdown.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not warming up Saturday Bray (undisclosed) hasn't been spotted in warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Oklahoma, Scott Wright of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Bray was unable to give it a go last week against Cincinnati and appears slated for his second consecutive absence. With him out, Blaine Green and Leon Johnson III could be options to see some additional looks in the passing game Saturday in Bray's absence.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play Week 9 Bray (undisclosed) didn't play in Week 9's game versus Cincinnati.

Impact Bray didn't participate in warmups, so his absence from last Saturday's contest isn't surprising. His next chance to suit up is Week 10's matchup with Oklahoma.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not warming up Saturday Bray (undisclosed) is not warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Cincinnati, Marshall Scott of Pistols Firing reports.

Impact Bray was not spotted during pre-game warmups for undisclosed reasons. With Blaine Green and Talyn Shettron also not warming up, the Cowboys are expected to be very shallow at receiver Saturday, with all three not expecting play. In seven games this season, Bray has caught 26 passes (on 43 targets) for 344 yards and a touchdown.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adds first TD in 2023 season Bray compiled four receptions (on five targets) for 53 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-34 victory versus West Virginia.

Impact Bray nabbed his first touchdown of the 2023 season as Oklahoma State's offense is starting to find its rhythm. Bray has at least five targets in five of seven games this year. The Cowboys' offense has been potent over the last few weeks and they have an excellent match-up with Cincinnati next week.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains day-to-day Bray (arm) is questionable to suit up for Saturday's matchup with Texas Tech, Cody Nagel of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Bray sustained an arm injury during fall camp which has forced him to miss the first four games of the season, and he remains day-to-day ahead of Saturday's matchup with Texas Tech. The 6-foot-2 sophomore appeared in 10 games last year, logging 13 receptions for 250 yards and two touchdowns. If Bray is unable to suit up on Saturday, his next opportunity will be Oct. 15, against TCU.
